Lots and Serials Set Number

An internal identification code for the lot and serial set. Usually, this code is not visible to end users.

Sequence

The number that identifies a data record or a step in a sequence of activities. Sequence numbers are used in many contexts. Usually LN generates the sequence number for the next item or step. Depending on the context, you can overwrite this number.

Lot

A number of items produced and stored together that are identified by a (lot) code. Lots identify goods.

Serial Number

Serial numbers can be generated for items and for tools.

Quantity in Inventory Unit

The quantity expressed in inventory unit.
